Wow! What a colourful parade. Students went all out in creating their own head piece. Yr 3-4-5-6 decided to have crazy hair as well. The Prep-1-2-3 students made their hats in class time, but each one had their own individual style to make it fabulous. Mrs Tree provided the prizes for the morning which was very much appreciated. We had 3 categories. Each class chose the winners for the other class by placing stickers on the person they thought would be best suited to win. The winners for each class were: Prep-1-2-3 3-4-5-6 Most Creative: Tonisha Rylie E Most Unusual: Ava Dineil Favourite: Tiarla Jessica & Zara Parents arrived to witness this spectacle and much applause was heard when the winners were announced.

Issue 6 — Term 2, Tuesday, 27th April, 2021 Dear Parents and Caregivers, Welcome back to all our Central families and a very special warm welcome to our new families! I have been super impressed with everyone making sure they are in uniform everyday ready to learn. Well done to you all. It is starting to get cooler in the mornings and I would like to remind everyone to please name jumpers and trackpants, so if a student removes them as the day warms up we know who to return them too. I would also love to extend my gratitude to the Central community that has made me feel so very welcome for the first two weeks while Mr Nastasi is enjoying an extended holiday. I have loved being back with our Central family. Mr Nastasi will be back on deck on Tuesday 4th May. ANZAC Parade: Thank you to all our wonderful students for organising our special school ANZAC assembly on Friday afternoon. I am very proud to say that the parade was a time of remembrance for our ANZAC’s and that everyone displayed our school expectation of ‘Be Respectful’ during the parade. Also, thank you to our families that were able come and be part of our ceremony as well. A special mention also goes out to our school leaders Rylee and Zoe that represented Bundaberg Central for the parade that marched through Bourbong Street and also to Rylee’s grandparents joined us for the parade as well. Both girls represented our school with such pride. Thank you for showing the true Central spirit! Bundy High buddies: We are very lucky at Central to have a wonderful strong connection with our feeder high school, Bundaberg State High School. Starting from week 2 this term, we will be having weekly visits from selected students from Bundy High to come and run some lunchtime activities and sports. This is a great opportunity for our students and I hope to see everyone out ‘having a go’ at the various things the high schoolers have planned.

Positive Behaviour for Learning – Week 1/2 On the first day back this term, our whole school had a PBL parade to discuss what our behaviour focus would be the first two weeks of term. The students’ decided that we would focus on our ‘Be Respectful’ school expectation, specifically when communicating with each other. We understand at times we do not get along and we are specifically targeting when this occurs, how we respond with words to each other. Over the first two weeks staff will all be monitoring and encouraging this expectation both in the classroom and playground. Mothers’ Day online stall: This year our wonderful P&C are hosting an online Mother’s Day stall. Last year this was an absolute hit and we hope that it will be well supported again this year. A catalogue is attached to this week’s newsletter. Attendance – everyday counts! We know that students learn best, are more engaged and are most likely to achieve their goals when they attend regularly and when schools and families work together in partnership. We do understand that there are reasons for your child/ren to be absent from school such as illness. In this case, please be sure to the let the office know via text or leaving a mes-sage on our school phone. Mrs Kym Childs, Acting Principal.

Mrs Child’s, Rylee and Zoe marched at the Bundaberg ANZAC Parade. They wore their Central uniform, held our school flag and marched proudly with the other participants. Rylee’s grandparents joined in to represent our school as well. The students placed a cross at the Cenotaph on Bourbong Street to show their respect.

PBL Rule for the fortnight: ‘Be Respectful’ - Use an appropriate voice.

The student leaders at Central State School did us proud as they lead the staff and students with our annual ANZAC ceremony on Friday 23rd April. Koby and Rylee recited a piece ‘We Remember’ while Rocco and Zoe also stepped up to the microphone to say ‘A Prayer Of Remembrance’. You can be nervous when speaking at special events but these students did very well. Each class made a wreath to place at the Cenotaph. Two students from the classes were chosen to lay these. Yr 3-4-5-6 students were Brodie and Zeke. Prep 1-2-3 were K-C and Tonisha. Students stood respectfully at the Cenotaph after laying their wreaths to think about the lives lost and the sacrifice that was made by the ANZACs for us to have the life we have today in Australia — Peace. Family members were in attendance to witness and pay their respects.
